Last year’s Swiss Rowing Indoor Championships included a test of a run-erg-run competition intended to capture a little bit of the beach sprint frenzy. That trial featured just six men and two women, but the reception was enough to convince the organizers that this year the event should return, and in prime position on the daily program.
The 2026 Indoor Championships, scheduled for 7 March and hosted by See-Club Zug, will include both junior and senior “Run-Row-Run” competitions. Athletes will sprint from the start line, jump onto an erg, row 750m, jump back off and race back to the finish. The may face several elimination rounds, depending on the number of competitors signed up, and then a final with the top four athletes vying for the medals.
